Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Motor Fuel and Petroleum Standards Act is |
amended by changing Section 4.1 as follows:
|
(815 ILCS 370/4.1) (from Ch. 5, par. 1704.1)
|
Sec. 4.1. (a) Upon any retail motor fuel dispensing device |
which is
used to dispense a motor fuel containing at least 1% |
by volume of ethanol,
of methanol,
or of a combination thereof, |
there shall be displayed a label
which identifies the maximum |
percentage by volume, to the nearest whole
percent, of ethanol, |
of methanol, and of
co-solvent contained in the motor fuel. |
Such labelling shall be done in
contrasting colors with block |
letters at least 1/2 inch in height and 1/4 inch
in width, and |
not more than one inch in height and 1/2 inch in width, and |
shall
be visible to customers. The label shall be located on |
the front or sides of
the dispenser and within the top 30 |
percent of the height of the dispenser. On
a dual-faced |
dispenser, the label shall be affixed on each front or each |
side
in accordance with these requirements.
Devices used to |
dispense only motor fuels which contain
a total of less than 1% |
by volume of methanol and ethanol
need not be so labelled.
|
(a-5) (Blank).
Upon any retail motor fuel dispensing device |
|
that is used to
dispense a motor fuel containing at least 2% by |
volume of the methanol
derivative methyl tertiary butyl ether |
(MTBE), there shall be displayed a label
stating: "CONTAINS |
METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE)". The label
shall be done in |
contrasting colors with block letters at least 1/2 inch in
|
height
and 1/4 inch in width, and not more than one inch in |
height and 1/2 inch in
width,
and shall be visible to |
customers. The label shall be located on the front or
sides
of |
the dispenser and within the top 30 percent of the height of |
the dispenser.
On
a dual-faced dispenser, the label shall be |
affixed on each front or each side
in accordance with these |
requirements. Devices used to dispense only motor
fuels
that |
contain a total of less than 2% by volume of the methanol |
derivative MTBE
need not be so labeled.
|
(a-10) Upon any retail motor fuel dispensing device that is |
used to dispense a motor fuel containing biodiesel or biodiesel |
blends, the biodiesel and biodiesel blends shall be identified |
by the capital letter "B" followed by the numerical value |
representing the volume percentage of biodiesel fuel, such as |
B10, B20, or B100, as follows:
|
(1) Upon any retail motor fuel dispensing device that |
is used to dispense a motor fuel containing between 5% and |
up to and including 20% of biodiesel, there shall be |
displayed on each retail dispenser:
|
(a) the capital letter "B" followed by the |
numerical value representing the maximum volume |
|
percentage of biodiesel fuel and ending with |
"biodiesel blend", such as B10 biodiesel fuel blend or |
B20 biodiesel fuel blend; or
|
(b) the phrase "biodiesel blend between 5% and 20%" |
or similar words.
|
(2) Upon any retail motor fuel dispensing device that |
is used to dispense a motor fuel containing more than 20% |
of biodiesel, there shall be displayed on each retail |
dispenser the capital letter "B" followed by the numerical |
value representing the volume percentage of biodiesel fuel |
and ending with either "biodiesel" or "biodiesel blend", |
such as B100 biodiesel or B60 biodiesel blend.
|
(3) The label shall be done in contrasting colors with |
block letters at least 1/2 inch in height and 1/4 inch in |
width, and not more than one inch in height and 1/2 inch in |
width, and shall be visible to customers. The label shall |
be located on the front or sides of the dispenser and |
within the top 30% of the height of the dispenser. On a |
dual-faced dispenser, the label shall be affixed on each |
front or each side in accordance with these requirements. |
Devices used to dispense only motor fuels that contain a |
total of 5% or less by volume of biodiesel need not be |
labeled.
|
(b) Each seller of a motor fuel which contains methanol,
|
ethanol, or biodiesel
the methanol derivative MTBE
shall notify |
the purchaser thereof of the percentage by volume of ethanol,
|
|
of methanol, of biodiesel
the methanol derivative MTBE, and of |
co-solvent which have
been added to such motor fuel,
and this |
information shall appear on the bill of lading, manifest or
|
delivery ticket for such motor fuel. However, this subsection |
(b)
shall not apply to sales at retail.
|
(c) No motor fuel, whether or not it contains any lead or |
lead
compounds, may contain more ethanol,
or methanol, or the |
methanol
derivative MTBE than is permitted, or contain less |
co-solvent than is
required, by the United States Environmental |
Protection Agency for
unleaded motor fuels under Section 211(f) |
of the federal Clean Air Act.
|
(d) All motor fuel sold or offered for sale by the |
distributor shall
contain the percentage and type of alcohol as |
stated on the bill of lading,
manifest or delivery ticket.
|
(e) (Blank).
With respect to the methanol derivative MTBE, |
the labeling and
notification requirements in this Section |
shall be enforced beginning 60 days
after the effective date of |
this amendatory Act of the 91st General
Assembly.
|
(f) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require |
or impose an
obligation upon the owner or operator of a retail |
